Thoughts?
§
Holly had suggested that we might want to do a modern rendition of a traditional block
§
Ohio theme?
§
Or, should we all work with the goal of creating something that will be displayed together as a group in an exhibition
-
Each create something on our own, but with a very common theme
that is determined by the ultimate goal of grouping them together to form an art installation
-
Ideas discussed at meeting: Maybe take different pics of landmarks
and make quilts inspired by it / or people take parts of skyline and
make blocks inspired by it / or use kona as a unifying color
·
Next meeting October 12
